Strawberry Pie Auto (Fast Buds)

HeavyHittah End of week 1 . Gave 3ml per litre of rhizo for the first 5 days . Then added a small dose of calmag and base as they looked like they needed a bit of a boost . Also added an inkbird thermostat controller with a heater so it will keep the tent at a steady temp during the colder months . All good so far 🌱

HeavyHittah Day 14. They look a little small to me for 2 weeks. May have had the light turned down to much . Now increased the light intensity a little. I need to purchase a PAR meter for optimal light levels but they're really expensive lol currently just using a lux meter. Increased from 14k lux to 20k lux . Not ideal to measure with lux but gives me some idea of the intensity.

HeavyHittah Growth has been a little quicker this week. Increased EC and optimised the light for veg growth . Currently at around 400 PAR and they are recting well. Stripped the bottom nodes on day 20 to focus the energy to the stronger tops above. Will start LST in the next day or 2 . Also added an exhale co2 bag never tried it before.

HeavyHittah Well the ladies are reacting well to the CO2 bag, growth is now increasing . It has allowed me to increase the PPF of the light to 460 . Will gradually increase as they stretch . They are reacting well so far . Keeping the EC at a steady 1.0 . pH 5.8 . I don't think I will need to go over 1.2 this run. They are light feeders. Noticed a few white hairs coming through, they are now in pre flower so hoping to get a nice structure on each plant before they stretch upwards. Looking good so far will upload more pics as the week progresses 🌱

HeavyHittah Going well so far . Hairs are coming through but still a bit slow to transition into flower. Added some Canna boost which should speed them up a bit . Tied down and defoliated again, they should bounce back in a day . Ready for them to start stretching next week hopefully . EC increased to 1.2, PAR at 510 to 560 at the end of the week. 🌱

HeavyHittah Stretch has been happening the past week . Continued to tie down and defoliate where needed . They are strong genetics for autos they are taking too training well, seem to recover after a day . Happy with how the canopy is turning out . EC increased this week to 1.3 PH 5.8. RUN OFF EC is at 1.0 pH 6.1 PPFD increased from 560 to 610 by the end of the week.

HeavyHittah I think they're budding a bit slowly this week but I did do a heavy defoliation at the start so may have stressed them a little. They have finally finished stretching also. Theyve gotten bigger than I expected lol.. I'm seeing thc now and they are starting to smell nice. EC increased to 1.4 this week Ppfd increased 610 to 700 by the end of the week . Will leave it at 700 now until the end . Don't want them to be stressed .

HeavyHittah Increased pk sightly this week and decreased base . Increased boost to 3ml per litre. Started swelling up this week, the smell is getting more intense and they are getting frosty ❄️ Just need to keep the pH optimal and dial the nutes in and should be 3 or 4 weeks from harvest . 🌱

HeavyHittah Growth has been slow but steady this week. They have swelled up a bit more . Checked the trichomes they're about 80 % cloudy . One plant is behind . Reduced EC to 1.1/1.2 . Pistils are changing colour now too, should be 2/3 weeks to harvest 🌱

HeavyHittah Well I must say for 66 days I'm pleasenty surprised with these autos . My last run was feminised and it took me 140 days in total . So for half the amount of time I've managed to fill out the tent. If all goes well and it's good quality stuff I think I'll be switching to autos for a while . One of the phenos is foxtailing, but wow is she frosty . Nearly every plant is a different pheno . Not been the easiest to manage but they are finishing up nicely. Trichomes are nearly all cloudy now . Will start flushing very soon. EC decreased to 1.0 .

HeavyHittah Started a gradual flush this week didn't flood the pots. Trichomes mostly cloudy now just waiting for a few amber to appear. Used boost with the flush for the first few days. Just plain water for a few days now then I will flush with florakleen. The runt is a bit behind the others' trichomes, but she's still swelling up . Run off EC down to 0.5 . Harvest when I have 15 percent amber trichs and the run off water runs clear. Not long to go now 🌱

HeavyHittah Coming to the end now , been flushing for 2 weeks. Run off is down to 0.1 and the water runs clear . They have yellowed a bit faster than I would of liked in this final week . I may have just got the NPK ratio off slightly in mid flower. Not to worry though. They have ripened up now , trichomes mostly cloudy with about 5/10 percent amber . Will report back in a week with harvest results . They are dripping in trichs and the smell is intense. Can't wait to try me some Strawberry Pie 🍓🥧 happy growing 🌱

HeavyHittah Slightly better yield than expected . Nugs are nice and dense . I had 2 purple phenos which I think are my favourites as they taste so good.. But the other phenos pack a punch too with hints of strawberrys bon bon on the exhale. High is more of an indica so I would recommend it for afternoon/evening smoke, its long lasting I've had the giggles for the first time in years lol Overall really impressed with this strain. Great flavour to it and a really smooth smoke with a long lasting high . It's good for relaxation but smoke too much and you'll be ready for bed . My only complaint was that every plant grew quite differently ,but I guess that's the risk with autos. I will definetly run this strain again . Top marks to FastBuds.
